It’s not always about how we fall- it’s about where we end up once we land.I remember the very first time I laid eyes on Cole Lincoln. It still feels like yesterday when he stumbled into my life with his messy brown hair and dark eyes. Even though I was only ten years old at the time, I knew right then and there that he was going to change everything.

From that point on Cole and I were always together—inseparable—and I naively believed we’d be best friends forever. But forever didn’t last nearly as long as I expected.

We grew up and grew apart, life driving the distance between us, but my love for Cole never faltered. Even long after he moved away, leaving me and our little town behind, I still carried a piece of him with me every single day. Because Cole wasn’t just my childhood best friend- the boy who knew me better than anyone else in the whole world. He was also my first love- a part of my very core.

When a tragic death brings us face to face again after six years, every single memory comes rushing to the surface. Only this is not the boy I fell in love with all those years ago. The man before me is hardened, intimidating, and so damn sexy I practically melt when those dark eyes meet mine for the first time in six years.

And like the first time he walked into my life, I know with complete certainty that everything is about to change.

Having Gabe act as her personal bodyguard is certainly no hardship, and Maddy’s ready to try anything to tempt him into providing some hands-on protection.

Ten years ago Ivy Breckenridge’s life
was ruined. She had to reinvent herself, and now, after painstakingly making
her own way in the world, she’s nearly forgotten the dreams of home and family
she’d once nurtured. Until one man peers into her soul and awakens every one of
her hidden desires. But no matter how good he makes her feel, she can’t trust
him—alone by choice is better than alone by necessity.

With a notorious reputation for
training married women in the art of passion, Sebastian Westgate, Duke of
Clare, is reviled by some and celebrated by others. He doesn’t allow anyone
close enough to see past his charming exterior. When Ivy uncovers the man
beneath, the seducer is suddenly the seduced. Enraptured by her mind and
spirit, he wants more but revealing his darkest secrets is a price he won’t
pay.

For nearly a decade, Drake Ramsey, the disciplined and logical Earl of Saint Brides, has been the driving force behind the Home Office; meeting with foreign leaders to negotiate treaties, spurring a lethargic Parliament into action, and directing a secret army of spies. The last thing he wants to find while taking a well-deserved vacation is a dangerous fugitive. Nevertheless, when he catches a beautiful murderess hiding in his hunting cabin, he has little choice but to bring her to justice, landing himself in a battle for control he could never hope to win.

…meets a woman determined to prove him wrong.

Marrying a stranger simply to gain access to her dowry and travel the world, admittedly, was the biggest mistake of Sarah Tindall’s life. In fact, she would readily admit to making several big mistakes. Killing her husband, however, is not one of them. When a starchy lord takes it upon himself to bring her to a London prison, she is determined to escape him and prove her innocence, yet every attempt ends with her back in her handsome captor’s arms. Even if her innocence is proven, his forbidden and passionate kisses leave her uncertain if escape was ever an option.

Four months after being fired from the FBI and
retreating to her hometown of Fairhope, Alabama, former special agent Samantha
Dark is still learning to enjoy the peaceful anonymity of small-town life. Her
confidence shaken, Samantha avoids contact with others. After all, when
monsters live in plain sight, it’s hard to trust anyone. But when her former
partner, Agent Blake Gamble, the ultimate good guy and someone who’s always
believed in her, comes to town seeking her help with his latest case, Samantha
is torn. Her fabled instincts let her down once before, when the killer who
ruined her career got away under her watch, and there are no guarantees they
won’t again.

But Blake doesn’t believe in ever giving
up…especially when it comes to Samantha. While they could never pursue their
mutual attraction before, when they were partners, now there’s nothing standing
in their way…except the specter of known serial killer Cameron Latham. Cameron
always claimed he and Samantha both had a darkness within that connected
them…until Blake came into her life. Samantha knows that darkness is real—that
it’s what allows her to penetrate the minds of sadistic killers. The last thing
Samantha could bear, however, is to reveal her dark side to Blake and have him
recoil from her. Blake wants to prove to Samantha that he can handle all her
secrets—she just needs to trust him. But Samantha learned to be careful about
whom to trust. Those close to you can turn on you in an instant

Blake’s current case turns out to be the work of a
copycat killer—a psycho pupil of Cameron’s who is seeking vengeance for his
former master by planning to kill Samantha. But it serves as a catalyst for
something more venomous—a reason for Cameron himself to reemerge, deadlier than
ever. The last person Cameron wants harmed is Samantha. He’s more interested in
eliminating perceived rival Blake for good.

Two deadly killers are after them, but Blake and
Samantha know every monster has a weakness. It’s just a matter of finding who
it is before it’s too late…
